I encountered this on one of our Gentoo VMs # revdep-rebuild * This is the new python coded version * Please report any bugs found using it. * The original revdep-rebuild script is installed as revdep-rebuild.sh * Please files bugs at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/ * Checking dynamic linking consistency * Assign files to packages Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.4/revdep-rebuild", line 40, in <module> success = rebuild.main(rebuild.parse_options()) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/gentoolkit/revdep_rebuild/rebuild.py", line 171, in main success = rebuild(logger, assigned, settings) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/gentoolkit/revdep_rebuild/rebuild.py", line 73, in rebuild _assigned = get_slotted_cps(assigned, logger) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/gentoolkit/revdep_rebuild/assign.py", line 106, in get_slotted_cps cp = parts[0] + '/' + parts[1] TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable Tried with Python 2.7, 3.4 both the same Then did the revdep-rebuild.sh (thanks for keeping that) and it showed: # revdep-rebuild.sh * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild * Checking reverse dependencies * Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by a package update * will be emerged. * Collecting system binaries and libraries * Generated new 1_files.rr * Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH * Generated new 2_ldpath.rr * Checking dynamic linking consistency [ 5% ] * broken /lib/libgpm.so.1.20.0 (requires libncurses.so.5) [ 100% ] * Generated new 3_broken.rr * Assigning files to packages * /lib/libgpm.so.1.20.0 -> /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/-MERGING-gpm * Generated new 4_raw.rr and 4_owners.rr * Cleaning list of packages to rebuild * Generated new 4_pkgs.rr * Assigning packages to ebuilds /usr/bin/revdep-rebuild.sh: line 955: /var/db/pkg//var/db/pkg/sys-libs/-MERGING-gpm-1.20.7-r2/CONTENTS/SLOT: No such file or directory * Generated new 4_ebuilds.rr * Evaluating package order ERROR: Invalid atom: '/var/db/pkg/sys-libs/-MERGING-gpm:' * * Portage could not find any version of the following packages it could build: * /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/-MERGING-gpm: * * (Perhaps they are masked, blocked, or removed from portage.) * Try to emerge them manually. * * Warning: Portage cannot rebuild any of the necessary packages. after manually cleaning that up and re-ran revdep-rebuild I got # revdep-rebuild * This is the new python coded version * Please report any bugs found using it. * The original revdep-rebuild script is installed as revdep-rebuild.sh * Please files bugs at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/ * Collecting system binaries and libraries * Checking dynamic linking consistency * Assign files to packages !!! Broken orphaned files: No installed package was found for the following: * /usr/bin/disable-paste * /usr/bin/display-buttons * /usr/bin/mouse-test * /usr/bin/display-coords * /usr/bin/hltest * /usr/bin/mev * /usr/bin/gpm-root * /usr/bin/get-versions There is nothing to emerge. Exiting. somehow there were files from gpm although the package itself was not installed. I removed them. Maybe this helps to add some extra-robustness to revdep-rebuild. Reproducible: Always
